FOIA Request to University of New Mexico regarding recent course syllabi on August 6, 2025.
The ABQ Times has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the University of New Mexico seeking access to academic records. The request specifically asks for a complete list of course syllabi for all undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the Spring 2025 semester. This includes syllabi from all departments, schools, and colleges, regardless of whether the courses were conducted in-person, online, or in hybrid formats.
The requested information should also include relevant metadata such as the course title and number, instructor name, department or academic unit, and the course delivery format. The ABQ Times emphasizes that access to these public records is crucial for their role in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. They have also requested a fee waiver based on their status as a media organization.
The requestor is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA requests. More information about this organization can be found on their website: https://stopsecrecy.org/about/.
